I design reusable frameworks, libraries, fixtures, and orchestration capabilities, while guiding automation architecture and helping engineers build maintainable solutions. I investigate complex failures by connecting execution results, system state, data conditions, and processing timelines. Previously, I led quality and automation initiatives at Knowledge Expert, Wolters Kluwer, AgileThought, Livingston International, IBM, and DIF Uruapan. Across 18+ years, I've built automation, performance, and quality-engineering capabilities, including GenAI evaluation frameworks for model quality, safety, robustness, reliability, prompt behavior, and RAG evaluation. ``` ## Experience ### Senior Software Engineer in Test (current) Extia Italia.
